cleaning up engine
cleaning up engine Hey guys,
I am wanting to clean up my engine some by getting rid of the air and egr. Well i have removed the air pump and some of the egr stuff. I need to get some block off plates to complete that. One of my questions is what vacuum lines and emissions junk (i.e. hoses, etc) can I take off and plug up? I am rerouting some of the wiring harness that are on top of the engine and along the tops of the valve covers.
Thanks!
Mike

The EGR has that one Vacuum line, you can put a Cap on it. Then you have the two plates on back of the Intake, and one on the passenger side Exhaust Manifold. As far as the AIR stuff, make sure that the one connection on the Intake, and the 2 on the Exhaust Manifolds are blocked off. With your car, it might throw a light, so you might have to get it tuned out.

I took it out, went through it, repaired spots and removed all the wires/plugs that I didn't need. Then I was able to take the Connectors on the Wheel Well, and combine all that into 1 Plug.
